The interface into "xdiff" library used to discover the offset and
size of a generated patch hunk by first formatting it into the
textual hunk header "@@ -n,m +k,l @@" and then parsing the numbers
out. A new interface has been introduced to allow callers a more
direct access to them.
* jk/xdiff-interface:
xdiff-interface: drop parse_hunk_header()
range-diff: use a hunk callback
diff: convert --check to use a hunk callback
combine-diff: use an xdiff hunk callback
diff: use hunk callback for word-diff
diff: discard hunk headers for patch-ids earlier
diff: avoid generating unused hunk header lines
xdiff-interface: provide a separate consume callback for hunks
xdiff: provide a separate emit callback for hunks
Some callers of xdi_diff_outf() do not look at the generated hunk header
lines at all. By plugging in a no-op hunk callback, this tells xdiff not
to even bother formatting them.
This patch introduces a stock no-op callback and uses it with a few
callers whose line callbacks explicitly ignore hunk headers (because
they look only for +/- lines).

The previous commit taught xdiff to optionally provide the hunk header
data to a specialized callback. But most users of xdiff actually use our
more convenient xdi_diff_outf() helper, which ensures that our callbacks
are always fed whole lines.
Let's plumb the special hunk-callback through this interface, too. It
will follow the same rule as xdiff when the hunk callback is NULL (i.e.,
continue to pass a stringified hunk header to the line callback). Since
we add NULL to each caller, there should be no behavior change yet.

It is apparently undefined behavior to call `regfree()` on a regex where
`regcomp()` failed. The language in [1] is a bit muddy, at least to me,
but the clearest hint is this (`preg` is the `regex_t *`):
Upon successful completion, the regcomp() function shall return 0.
Otherwise, it shall return an integer value indicating an error as
described in <regex.h>, and the content of preg is undefined.
Funnily enough, there is also the `regerror()` function which should be
given a pointer to such a "failed" `regex_t` -- the content of which
would supposedly be undefined -- and which may investigate it to come up
with a detailed error message.
In any case, the example in that document shows how `regfree()` is not
called after `regcomp()` fails.
We have quite a few users of this API and most get this right. These
three users do not.
Several implementations can handle this just fine [2] and these code paths
supposedly have not wreaked havoc or we'd have heard about it. (These
are all in code paths where git got bad input and is just about to die
anyway.) But let's just avoid the issue altogether.

Sometimes users are given a hash of an object and they want to
identify it further (ex.: Use verify-pack to find the largest blobs,
but what are these? or [1])
One might be tempted to extend git-describe to also work with blobs,
such that `git describe <blob-id>` gives a description as
'<commit-ish>:<path>'. This was implemented at [2]; as seen by the sheer
number of responses (>110), it turns out this is tricky to get right.
The hard part to get right is picking the correct 'commit-ish' as that
could be the commit that (re-)introduced the blob or the blob that
removed the blob; the blob could exist in different branches.
Junio hinted at a different approach of solving this problem, which this
patch implements. Teach the diff machinery another flag for restricting
the information to what is shown. For example:
$ ./git log --oneline --find-object=v2.0.0:Makefile
b2feb64309 Revert the whole "ask curl-config" topic for now
47fbfded53 i18n: only extract comments marked with "TRANSLATORS:"
we observe that the Makefile as shipped with 2.0 was appeared in
v1.9.2-471-g47fbfded53 and in v2.0.0-rc1-5-gb2feb6430b. The
reason why these commits both occur prior to v2.0.0 are evil
merges that are not found using this new mechanism.

'git {log,diff,...} -S<...> --pickaxe-regex' can segfault as a result
of out-of-bounds memory reads.
diffcore-pickaxe.c:contains() looks for all matches of the given regex
in a buffer in a loop, advancing the buffer pointer to the end of the
last match in each iteration. When we switched to REG_STARTEND in
b7d36ffca (regex: use regexec_buf(), 2016-09-21), we started passing
the size of that buffer to the regexp engine, too. Unfortunately,
this buffer size is never updated on subsequent iterations, and as the
buffer pointer advances on each iteration, this "bufptr+bufsize"
points past the end of the buffer. This results in segmentation
fault, if that memory can't be accessed. In case of 'git log' it can
also result in erroneously listed commits, if the memory past the end
of buffer is accessible and happens to contain data matching the
regex.
Reduce the buffer size on each iteration as the buffer pointer is
advanced, thus maintaining the correct end of buffer location.
Furthermore, make sure that the buffer pointer is not dereferenced in
the control flow statements when we already reached the end of the
buffer.
The new test is flaky, I've never seen it fail on my Linux box even
without the fix, but this is expected according to db5dfa3 (regex:
-G<pattern> feeds a non NUL-terminated string to regexec() and fails,
2016-09-21). However, it did fail on Travis CI with the first (and
incomplete) version of the fix, and based on that commit message I
would expect the new test without the fix to fail most of the time on
Windows.

Some codepaths in "git diff" used regexec(3) on a buffer that was
mmap(2)ed, which may not have a terminating NUL, leading to a read
beyond the end of the mapped region. This was fixed by introducing
a regexec_buf() helper that takes a <ptr,len> pair with REG_STARTEND
extension.
* js/regexec-buf:
regex: use regexec_buf()
regex: add regexec_buf() that can work on a non NUL-terminated string
regex: -G<pattern> feeds a non NUL-terminated string to regexec() and fails
The new regexec_buf() function operates on buffers with an explicitly
specified length, rather than NUL-terminated strings.
We need to use this function whenever the buffer we want to pass to
regexec(3) may have been mmap(2)ed (and is hence not NUL-terminated).
Note: the original motivation for this patch was to fix a bug where
`git diff -G <regex>` would crash. This patch converts more callers,
though, some of which allocated to construct NUL-terminated strings,
or worse, modified buffers to temporarily insert NULs while calling
regexec(3). By converting them to use regexec_buf(), the code has
become much cleaner.

When we call into xdiff to perform a diff, we generally lose
the return code completely. Typically by ignoring the return
of our xdi_diff wrapper, but sometimes we even propagate
that return value up and then ignore it later. This can
lead to us silently producing incorrect diffs (e.g., "git
log" might produce no output at all, not even a diff header,
for a content-level diff).
In practice this does not happen very often, because the
typical reason for xdiff to report failure is that it
malloc() failed (it uses straight malloc, and not our
xmalloc wrapper). But it could also happen when xdiff
triggers one our callbacks, which returns an error (e.g.,
outf() in builtin/rerere.c tries to report a write failure
in this way). And the next patch also plans to add more
failure modes.
Let's notice an error return from xdiff and react
appropriately. In most of the diff.c code, we can simply
die(), which matches the surrounding code (e.g., that is
what we do if we fail to load a file for diffing in the
first place). This is not that elegant, but we are probably
better off dying to let the user know there was a problem,
rather than simply generating bogus output.
We could also just die() directly in xdi_diff, but the
callers typically have a bit more context, and can provide a
better message (and if we do later decide to pass errors up,
we're one step closer to doing so).
There is one interesting case, which is in diff_grep(). Here
if we cannot generate the diff, there is nothing to match,
and we silently return "no hits". This is actually what the
existing code does already, but we make it a little more
explicit.

- When a pickaxe limit is not given at all, they should return
without wasting any cycle;
- When both sides of the filepair are the same, and the same
textconv conversion apply to them, return early, as there will be
no interesting differences between the two anyway.
Also release the filespec data once the processing is done (this is
not about leaking memory--it is about releasing data we finished

The fill_one() function is responsible for finding and filling the
textconv filter as necessary, and is called by diff_grep() function
that implements "git log -G<pattern>".
The has_changes() function that implements "git log -S<block>" calls
get_textconv() for two sides being compared, before it checks to see
if it was asked to perform the pickaxe limiting. Move the code
around to avoid this wastage.
After has_changes() calls get_textconv() to obtain textconv for both
sides, fill_one() is called to use them.
By adding get_textconv() to diff_grep() and relieving fill_one() of
responsibility to find the textconv filter, we can avoid calling
get_textconv() twice in has_changes().
With this change it's also no longer necessary for fill_one() to
modify the textconv argument, therefore pass a pointer instead of a
pointer to a pointer.

We currently just look at raw blob data when using "-S" to
pickaxe. This is mostly historical, as pickaxe predates the
textconv feature. If the user has bothered to define a
textconv filter, it is more likely that their search string will be
on the textconv output, as that is what they will see in the
diff (and we do not even provide a mechanism for them to
search for binary needles that contain NUL characters).
This patch teaches "-S" to use textconv, just as we
already do for "-G".

If we are given an empty pickaxe needle like "git log -S ''",
it is impossible for us to find anything (because no matter
what the content, the count will always be 0). We currently

simpler to return our answer before loading any blob data.
Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
If you use "-G" to grep a diff, we will apply a configured
textconv filter to the data before generating the diff.
However, if the diff is an addition or deletion, we do not
bother running the diff at all, and just look for the token
in the added (or removed) content. This works because we
know that the diff must contain every line of content.
However, while we used the textconv-derived buffers in the
regular diff, we accidentally passed the original unmodified
buffers to regexec when checking the added or removed
content. This could lead to an incorrect answer.
Worse, in some cases we might have a textconv buffer but no
original buffer (e.g., if we pulled the textconv data from
cache, or if we reused a working tree file when generating
it). In that case, we could actually feed NULL to regexec
and segfault.

"git log -S<string>" is a useful way to find the last commit in the

appear in the starting commit, it never had to look for anything but an
exact match.
When used by an end user who wants to look for the last commit that
removed a string (e.g. name of a variable) that he vaguely remembers,
however, it is useful to support case insensitive match.
When given the "--regexp-ignore-case" (or "-i") option, which originally

Teach "-G<regexp>" that is similar to "-S<regexp> --pickaxe-regexp" to the
"git diff" family of commands. This limits the diff queue to filepairs
whose patch text actually has an added or a deleted line that matches the
given regexp. Unlike "-S<regexp>", changing other parts of the line that
has a substring that matches the given regexp IS counted as a change, as
such a change would appear as one deletion followed by one addition in a
patch text.
Unlike -S (pickaxe) that is intended to be used to quickly detect a commit
that changes the number of occurrences of hits between the preimage and
the postimage to serve as a part of larger toolchain, this is meant to be
used as the top-level Porcelain feature.
The implementation unfortunately has to run "diff" twice if you are
running "log" family of commands to produce patches in the final output
(e.g. "git log -p" or "git format-patch"). I think we _could_ cache the
result in-core if we wanted to, but that would require larger surgery to
the diffcore machinery (i.e. adding an extra pointer in the filepair
structure to keep a pointer to a strbuf around, stuff the textual diff to
the strbuf inside diffgrep_consume(), and make use of it in later stages
when it is available) and it may not be worth it.
